Wait, VR as in virtual reality? Yep, the new GTX 980 and 970 are ready for the virtual reality future. Apparently, when you hook up a VR headset like Oculus Rift, multiple GPUs can be assigned a specific eye to render the stereo images faster. They also contain technology to cut latency between moving your head and the game world perspective shifting accordingly.

Nvidia also says that its new cards will improve game compatibility with VR devices, and even allow gamers to get the VR experience on headsets that weren’t designed for it.

Both the GeForce GTX 980 and 970 are available now through card suppliers including ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac. Pricing starts at $549 (£334) for the GTX 980 and $329 (£199) for the GTX 970.Read More: AMD Radeon R9 285 review
